- Hello there, today I have something very special for you. You will join me on my walk in Vienna's Cottageviertel (literally cottage quarter).
"A quarter in the Viennese districts of Währing and Döbling is usually referred to as a cottage district or "the cottage" for short.
The models for the cottage villas were originally English country houses (cottages). In the older Viennese pronunciation, the word cottage has a pseudo-French sound (kotèsch), but the English pronunciation has been used more and more recently.
The Währinger and Döblinger Cottageviertel is one of the most elegant and expensive residential areas in Vienna. It is located on the Türkenschanze, half in the 18th and half in the 19th district of Vienna (Währing and Döbling). The Hasenauerstraße forms the border between the two districts. Characteristic are the many old villas and noble houses as well as the quiet alleys full of trees and green areas. Many celebrities live and lived here, for example Arthur Schnitzler, Theodor Herzl, Richard Beer-Hofmann, Felix Salten, the architect Hubert Gessner, Emmerich Kálmán, the conductor Karl Böhm, the "healer" Valentin Lineis, Archduke Otto, today Thomas Hampson among others and Arik Brauer. The “cottage style” villas often have red brick facades or are characterized by rural elements. They were mostly bourgeois family houses that were built between 1873 and 1874 in response to the expensive apartment buildings." - Translated from Wikipedia

Lovely area. Thanks for this!

Vielen Dank.
leading to my university, interesting to find, indeed very lovely area!
You are very lucky studying there and being able to enjoy the neighborhood in your study breaks 😄
The two larger buildings and the wooden one are some of the Uni of agriculture's (Universität für Bodenkultur) main buildings.
Thanks for the info!
Mind you you can spot the council estates sprinkled about the area Vienna-style.
No ghettos
Vienna is the largest property owner of Europe. Two hundred twenty thousand flats.
Also 580sqkm of land.
People can complain about the Viennese government all the way they want but the city really does a lot to provide relatively cheap and affordable housing for everyone (especially lower income households). The council estatea might not be the prettiest buildings but as you say, there are no real ghettos in Vienna compared to other big cities in Europe
